I realized that it's a hassle to find a mounting screw for the thing if you don't have one handy from the cutting fence attachment, so I added a little pop-in split pin that seems to work very well and only looks slightly penis-like (not intentional - form follows function, what can I say). <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/1188015-jigsaw-blade-holder" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.printables.com/model/1188015-jigsaw-blade-holder</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3dprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3dprint</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/powerTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#powerTools</a>

Vex for Harris & Wallz has movedPower tool shenanigansSo, I've bought me a couple new toys, a power washer and a drill & impact gun combo.So, first the power washer, which is basically a drill with a water pump. No really...It's a 40V unit to get the power you need, but comes with the small 2.5A battery, because can you imagine the balance with a 5 amp? Besides, for the kind of work you're going to use this for, you can easily swap the batteries, assuming you even need to. Definitely going to look into the available accessories, and perhaps other companies accessories that'll fit, because I don't think the input is proprietary, it just looks like a standard size quick release. I did have trouble finding one of these since they're being <a href="https://slickdeals.net/f/17842089-ryobi-40v-hp-brushless-ezclean-600-psi-0-7-gpm-cordless-battery-cold-water-power-cleaner-with-2-0-ah-battery-and-charger-ry124052k-the-home-depot-49-97?src=frontpage_recombee&prop=rcmid-35e5caee13fe3359ba5a1e40469ddd13" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">clearanced</a> or something, just look at that price. I suspect people have been snapping them up for the battery, because I'm pretty sure you can't get even the small battery as cheap as this is going for. Funny thing, I wound up buying the last one at the Alton IL store as they were the nearest store I could find with one in stock, and as we're pulling up, I'm telling <a href="https://wandering.shop/users/lirleni" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@lirleni</a> about how it's been a long time since I've been there, and the last was me picking up a delivery at that store going to Godfrey since I happened to be in the area, and... Yeah, we wound up grabbing a delivery to Godfrey.Now as to the other one, I picked up a drill and impact kit on clearance at WalMart, one of the Hart 20V products. Now I have and am happy with the 40V Hart lawn equipment I have, it's basically a limited line of old Ryobi products made with lower quality plastics in a different colour and with a re-pinned battery from the same manufacturer, hence trying a 20V now that I kinda need a new drill. The first one I bought was only a drill, and clearly a re-pack, so I wasn't surprised when the batteries wouldn't charge, instead flashing an error. This however is completely brand new, factory sealed box, and... Yeah, same problem.I think I'm done with Hart 20V, and possibly switching entirely to Ryobi, since I have a curb salvaged lawn mower that needs repair, a self propelled 40V that was thrown out as it didn't work any more, sans batteries and charger. My plan was to hit it with a little WD40, and then lube it up, and test it using a motorcycle battery assuming I could find the pin outs. Nice thing about DC, the motor'll work even on 12V, just won't have any real power, but enough for testing. Now, I have a battery and a charger, so... Yep, if it works, I just need a bigger battery, and I have a better mower for free.So, I'm still on the hunt for a homeowner grade drill, but no rush, my old B&D 18V still works, the batteries are just being a bit flaky about taking a charge, hence the casual search.<a href="https://friendica.opensocial.space/search?tag=PowerTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PowerTools</a> <a href="https://friendica.opensocial.space/search?tag=hart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hart</a> <a href="https://friendica.opensocial.space/search?tag=ryobi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ryobi</a> <a href="https://friendica.opensocial.space/search?tag=mower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mower</a> <a href="https://friendica.opensocial.space/search?tag=lawnmower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lawnmower</a> <a href="https://friendica.opensocial.space/search?tag=powerwasher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#powerwasher</a> <a href="https://friendica.opensocial.space/search?tag=drill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#drill</a>

Liam, the eepy-est reaperOk, in getting <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/ThisOldClownHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThisOldClownHouse</a> repaired I've been relying pretty heavily on a local tool lending library. But eventually, I'm going to need to upgrade our toolkit to include at least some basic cordless power tools. (Sure, right now I just need a decent drill and a work light, but I'm sure that's going to expand)I know that basically every brand has attempted vendor lock-in by having proprietary batteries for their sets of cordless tools. Adapters exist, but I am aware that once I buy in to one system, I'm likely going to (mostly) stick with it. I know next to nothing about the various brands of power tools, so I'm here doing an <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#askfedi</a> . Which brands do you use? Which do you avoid? Why? Company ethics, tool quality, price, range of options etc. I'm located in Pittsburgh, PA if regional availability is a real factor.<a href="https://cathode.church/tags/pleaseHelp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pleaseHelp</a> <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/pleaseBoost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pleaseBoost</a> <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/powerTools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#powerTools</a>
